Step 1
Attach the landing gear to the fuselage using four
8-32 x 3/4-inch machine screws and four #8 washers.
The gear can only be installed in one direction.
Note
: Use threadlock on the screws to
prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
Step 2
Attach the landing gear axles to the landing gear.
Step 3
Use a file to create a flat on the bottom of each axle. This
will give the screws holding the wheel collars an area to
tighten onto and will aid in preventing vibrations from
loosening the wheel collar screws.
